What does it mean when a hotel advertises American Owned on their sign?

Some are, some aren't

What do you do for a living? We seem to have interest in hotels and restaurants.

Usually referred to as "new Americans."

Not Indian.

Are these shitty places or what? I don't stay at hotels that have dumb signs out front so I'm kind of curious.

Yes they are shitty. Iv'e never stayed in one either but I see the signs on the road.

Chinese investors have been buying up a lot of hotels recently. The Waldorf Astoria in NY was just bought by a Chinese group and there was a Chinese group in the running to buy Starwood hotels. I'm guessing that's what they're against...that and Indian people.

I'm going out on a limb here, but how about this: only Americans own the hotel? Race, creed, color, sexuality, political affiliation, sex, and handicapped status; no clue!

Sorry you're not proud to be an American.

It means the owners are racist white Americans who can't win business through their TripAdvisor/Yelp/Google reviews so they bash their competitors who have dark skin.

I have found these places are usually as bad if not worse than the Indian-American owned hotels/motels.

Nowadays there is no reason not to stay in a chain hotel with apps like Priceline Express Deals.

Unless you are in the Permian Basin (NM) where chain hotels still run $200-$300 during the week. In these towns there is usually one or two Indian-American owned mom & pops that are clean and well taken care of.
